Family Guy is an animated television sitcom, created by Seth MacFarlane, that airs on Fox and regularly on other television networks in syndication. The show centers on a dysfunctional family in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island. The show uses frequent “cutaway gags,” jokes in the form of tangential vignettes.[1]
Family Guy was cancelled in 2000 and again in 2002, but strong DVD sales and the large viewership of reruns on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim convinced Fox to resume the show in 2005. It was the first of only two cancelled shows to be resurrected based on DVD sales.[2] (The other being Futurama, which aired in proximity to Family Guy on Adult Swim for years.)
